Why I Stopped Carrying A Glock - Canik TP9 SC Elite Blackout for Executive Carry

[@PaleHorse68]

Having exclusively carried a Glock of one kind or another since the early nineties, I can absolutely relate to this video. As soon as I picked up and fired a Canik TP9SC, I knew things were gonna change. I have ZERO negative to say about Glock. But, now I'm proud to admit, I carry my Canik with a Holosun micro-dot religiously. It's just better on all levels.

[@SecurityAllStar]

...and another one joins the team.

[@rickgarcia8481]

My canik elite, is the best gun I own... Never a misfeed. Accurate and so comfortable in the hand. One of the best triggers out of the box you will ever find

[@SecurityAllStar]

and that's the story we hear again and again...I agree.

[@coppertom1967]

Bought my Elite SC last weekend. Put 100 rounds through it and immediately sold my FN FNS 9c compact. This thing is butter. Put a Streamlight TLR 7 on it. Came with the SMS 2 optic, which I didn't really want. I'll put a Holosun 507 K on, get a Tier 1 holster and I'll be good to go. Nice vid. I'm in total agreement.

[@SecurityAllStar]

Several people have done the same thing.

[@Dragonscout]

I've got an original G19 that's been rebuilt by Glock twice since the mid 80's. My daughter bought the Elite SC to go with her G43X. First time I shot it i was really impressed. I was looking for the Combat Elite Executive and instead found the Walther PDP-F. Requalifying Saturday, I had the daughter's Elite SC since it shoots so well and so others on the church security team could try it out. A deputy and one other guy have already picked up Canicks as a result>> Great guns, but here is a side tip...Canik mags will fit my Walther and visa versa. All of the 15,18 and 20 rounders I bought for my daughter will fit the PDP and my Walther mags fit, lock, feed and drop free on the Canik. Remember the Canik is designed after the SW99, an early Walther pistol. So winners all around!!

[@EstorilEm]

I’ve never been very good with iron sights, but I agree - something about this gun just makes it EXTREMELY easy to shoot out of the box. I think it’s a number of aspects, but they all work together really well. The number one complaint I hear is that it’s TOO cheap, which is hilarious. They probably could have sold this thing for $500 all day long and I guess they’d get less complaints as well. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@bullinapeamurica5940]

People have really said it's too cheap? I always hear people saying the cheap price reflects the quality of the gun (which is NOT true at all!) but never "it's too cheap i wanna pay more!" lol I've seen a review of a guy saying it "feels cheap" but "shoots great!" how can a gun that feels cheap shoot great with 0 failures makes no sense people talk shit about caniks yet go on to say it's a great gun and they've had no failure to fires which begs the question what are some of these peoples definition of a great or cheap gun? makes ya think lol

[@redzone1019]

Glocks are very reliable firearms. That said, I recently sold my Glock 45 9mm for a Canik tp9 elite sc. The Glock has an okay to good trigger, but the Canik has a great trigger right out of the box!

[@tacpreppers4906]

same here, sold my Glock 23 and went back to 9mm with this sweet little thing. Awesome gun.

[@Slugg-O]

Same here. I have watched and listened to people talk about CANIK and assumed it was just another budget gun that shot well, but I never gave much thought to getting one until recently. I guess I had heard enough about them to push me over the edge and order one. I went with the TP9-SF Elite over the SC because I needed the larger grip but didn't want to go full size. The gun arrived and made me a believer. The trigger is WAY better than many $800 guns I've tried and I know of nothing better in stock form that has a better reset. I have just under 200 rounds through mine and it has cycled every oddball brand of ammo I could find without a single fail. In my opinion the TP9's are highly underrated. I have a custom Cerakoted Sig P229 that I love but the CANIK is so much better for EDC. It's on the large-ish side for a carry gun but I wear an OWB holster and a long shirt. No problem.

[@SecurityAllStar]

Thank you for this story. I've not had one person say they didn't like it. The only negative comments are referencing where it is made.

[@Pmedic605]

The rod and red dot at the end of the slide does NOT indicate a round is chambered; it indicates the gun is cocked. Only the LCI at the ejection port indicates a round is chambered.

You are correct - that was misspoken. If I get a full size one I'll correct that

I wanted a G19 so bad but I couldn't find one anywhere local nor online so I bought a Canik TP9SF Elite and I do not regret my decision, thing is a beast first range day I shot around 80-100 rounds (I was having too much fun to get an accurate number) with 0 failure to fires, when loading with the slide locked back as soon as I hit that release snapped back everytime didn't have to slap the round in or anything. Love this thing.

I like the Glock model45 its a 17 frame with a 19 slide. I would never own or buy a firearm made in Turkey. I don’t care how great they are bottom line is Turkey supports terrorism think I’m full of it then do your own homework see what Military intelligence or the CIA or FBI has to say about it.

[@shaycase1834]

Even so… they are excellent, reliable and accurate tools, costing less than a german(birthplace of nazi fascism) glock. At least they aren’t made in China. I’m not hating on glocks, but some people will always find a reason to knock a gun that isn’t their favorite brand. The 45 is a decent handgun too though.

[@cohoonatube]

Just bought 2 to accompany my Mete SFX. New to (out of the military) firearms and after testing 35+ models from the bigger and smaller names, I chose Canik. Looking forward to the small ergonomic refinements of the Mete & Rival to find their way to the SC series. Having purchased a Patriot Brown & Blackout, swapping the Slides made for a unique EDC with a backup. It's hard not to get a 2" group with these triggers!

[@mr.sevensixtwo]

Nice just got one the other day too and I swear this thing fits in my hand like a glove!!! I love the red indicator in the rear that shows if the round is chambered or not, that is seriously simple yet effective!!

[@asdf89sdf]

That's the cocking indicator. If you see red it means the gun is cocked. It has nothing to do with the gun being loaded. On the Elite there is a small metal bar on the slide that pops up if there is a round in the chamber.

[@SecurityAllStar]

Right on

[@Caleb-s2g]

If you are tied between the 17 & the 19, have you tried the model 45? It’s the 17 round frame of the 17, but the barrel and slide of the 19. It’s a great hybrid. Also, if you think the Caniks trigger is great now you need to try the upgraded freedom smith trigger. $70, and it’s about 1/3 the factory reset and super crisp. It’s honesty like a 1911 trigger. But they are indeed great guns. I’m very happy to see how well these Caniks are getting out there

[@SecurityAllStar]

Hey, thanks for the comments. Yes, I did like the 45. Very similar to the old 17 and 19 but I did find it a little heavier with the new extended frame. I also like having more rounds in the 45 but the feel in my hand was about the same as other Glocks. Several of my friends would never agree to ever let go of their Glock but they have carried that baby all over the world. I understand.

@Inconvenient Truths well I own several of both Glocks and cannex in mechanics are so far way more reliable the eat any animal that I put through it and the Canik is way more accurate I can pick any of my canx and they're more accurate and I've shot them a lot less than I have my Glocks not to mention my trigger in mechanic is 10 times better than any Factory Glock trigger as a matter of fact I would say the factory Canik trigger is better than any trigger you can put in a Glock there's a reason why so many people love the Canik and it's not just the prize because right now the Canik SC Elite in my area is the same price as a clock I can get a Glock 48 x 499 and the SC Elite is anywhere from 450 to 520 and I'm getting ready to get up here in a couple hours and go buy another Canik it'll be my fourth one and no I'm not trying to knock Glock but people overhyped them by far mark my words the Canik will be the new gun that everybody wants and then everybody goes crazy over in the day everybody carries in the next couple years soon as more people hear about it all you have to do is shoot one and you'll see why

Great video. I'm in the Security profession as well, I sometimes ware a duty belt with my weapon exposed. Let me tell you the one reason why I stop carrying a Walther p99 and started carrying a Canik tps9SA. The "de-cocker" application. While the p99 has a de-cocker, when compressed it takes the gun out off single action and is automatically put into double action. Were as with the Canik tps9SA actually takes it out of operation. I like this feature for the simple fact that when carrying exposed if I were to get into a fight for my weapon I can de-cock it and fight to get to another cancelled weapon, knowing the weapon will not fire unless another round is cycled will by me some time.

Standard Pic rail. Even new it's a steal. I'm somewhat devoted to the P365 platform at this point. Canik's small competitor still isn't small enough to wiggle between the 365 & I.

You know, I did another video on a very good holster for the gun. It is the Phalanx Stealth Operator. I ditched the holster that came with it after a bit.

Bought the tp9 SC a week ago as my first hand gun and I’m very happy with my decision. However Mine came with a different front sight. Not night time. I’m thinking of changing it.

[@SecurityAllStar]

If memory serves me correctly, the Glock sights will fit. I'd double check me though. We absolutely love the Spartan sights.

[@debbief6032]

I have that Canik and it is a nice shooting gun. Very accurate. The only downfall for me initically was how hard it was to rack. Contacted Canik & they sent out a lighter spring and now it is just right.

[@SecurityAllStar]

Yes, this can be problematic for some people. Glad you got it lightened.

My TP9 SFX is like that as well. I just figured I needed to break it in.

[@redwolfacutinaantam7725]

I have two Canik Elite TP9 SC, and they're are amazing handguns. I use them for CC. I live on a fixed income so I research quality/reliability in regards to price. I've paid $1300 total for my two Caniks along with two full size Masada's and I can tell you that both are high quality pistols. I've run several thousand rounds of various ammo through my Caniks and Masada's and have never had a misfire, or misfeed/jam from either handgun. People who think you have to pay big bucks for high quality pistols are fooling themselves out of a lot of money. I also have a Taurus G3 and a G3c and both of those are also very good quality for even less than what I paid for my Caniks and Masada's. All of them are very accurate and have very light recoil and better than average triggers. You don't have to spend high money for high quality if you research thoroughly.

[@SecurityAllStar]

Thank you very much for the overview. I'd agree with you on every point.

[@redwolfacutinaantam7725]

@@SecurityAllStar , I recently bought a Masada slim and the trigger on it is awesome. Much better than my full-size Masada's and comparable to my Caniks. The full-size Masada's reset is a bit long so you can't get those rapid-fire shots off, but boy does that gun eat everything and anything you put in it. It's very reliable. The slim has a crisp break but unlike the full size tactical the reset is very short like my Caniks so you can get off those rapid-fire shots if you want. if you can get your hands on a Masada slim, I would suggest shooting it. If you like the Canik Elite TP9sc I think you will like the Masada slim.

Yes, we really want to try the full-size pistol.

I was thinking the same thing. That rear red dot is showing the striker is ready to fire. The top indicator is for the chamber. But it was a good video.

[@ACommenterOnYouTube]

8:05 In-correct. That pin pulled back does NOT indicate there is a round in the chamber. That pin pulled back tells you that it is ready to be fired, with or without a round in the chamber. NOW that red dot and the raised bar ON TOP DOES indicate there is a round IN the chamber ready to be fired

[@joeyount3864]

I carry the same Canik only my me is flat dark earth. I was able to shoot mine extremely well right out of the box. I carried a Glock 22 Gen 1 for 12 years . It was reliable and a great duty weapon. However this Canik in my opinion is far superior to it. My wife shot mine and went straight inside at the range and bought herself one for her EDC . She has the black and titanium model. She shot better than I did with hers straight out of the box. Caniks are awesome weapons. We have fired approximately 1000 rounds through our weapons and have even used steel cased and not one issue with our Caniks. The fire all ammo.

[@SecurityAllStar]

Wow, I got one for my wife and she is shooting it for the first time tomorrow.

[@TheCubanN3rd]

@8:02 the firing pin red dot, indicates that the trigger/ pin is live and in battery. If its hiding you can still have one in the chamber but the trigger is dead. The chamber loaded indicator on the top is the only thing that tells you if there's one in there. The trigger safety indicator also doesnt tell you the status of anything but the safety position. But otherwise great video, I agree its a great gun!

That red dot on the back of the gun is a cocked indicator, not a chambered indicator. Meaning that red dot will show up with a cocked but empty gun.

[@tobylopez445]

I sold my Glock 48 for the same reasons, and now I am getting this canik TP9 sc. I am really sorry to hear that you don't carry one in the chamber, because your pistols all have an internal safety that won't let the gun go boom unless you pull the trigger. also! when you carry a revolver all the cylinders are full and your only safety is to not touch your trigger until you are sure to fire. so please trust your pistols and teach yourself to never touch the trigger until you are sure you want to shoot. be safe and shoot straight, this is from an old Army Veteran from 1966/1969 and past LEO. also, in the heat of the moment of a defensive situation, you might not have the time to rack the slide before you get stabbed or shot, and never have an external safety engaged. many have died because they forgot to take off the safety.

[@SecurityAllStar]

Yep, gotta carry chambered. It not seconds at that point, it is milliseconds that count.

[@tylaw6173]

I have a G48 mos and a TP9 SC and I would never get rid of my G48 in favor of the SC. They both have their place but the G48 is a lot more comfortable to carry

Not surprised more people didn’t notice this. And honestly this is why I think this gun isn’t for the average gun owner or even the slightly clumsy...

Great video though Allstar!

[@chris.eskimo]

Just a small correction. Loaded chamber and striker indicators are not the same as a safety. From my understanding, the only safety device is the trigger safety. Excluding the 'universal safety' , meaning one's trigger finger.
